General Fitz Henry Warren. of Burlng-
ton, Ia, was the author of the famous ION
to Richmond articles, which were published
In the New York Tribune before the first bat
tie Of Bull Run. General Warren was aman

William Winter was only nineteen years
old when he came TO New York TO seek his
fortune. He had written poem on scraps
of brown paper from grocery store. The
verses happened TO fall into the hands Of
George Arnold, who was pleased with their
poetical promise, and took them to Henry
Clapp, Jr., editor Of the Saturday Press.
They were published In the paper, and the
poet received 90 for his poem. The amount,
small as it was, proved more acceptable TO
Winter then than hundreds Of dollars would

once famous Bohemian resort on Broadway,
near Blocker street. Ada Clare was the
queen Of that queer Bohemian land, which
flowed not with milk and honey but with
lager beer and whose odors were not the
mists of classic streams, but the fragrance OF
tobacco smoked In pipes Of every style, from
the red-clay TO the meerschaum.
